What a rotten stinking day at my house yesterday.

you already heard about my intestinal dilemma, Ive been talking to my sister and she says that shes been diagnosed with lactose intolerance.

Im thinking that would explain my problems as well.

i had to take my wife to the emergency room because she got a migraine and started crying all over the place and threatening to vomit. She had to get some of those migraine shots.

And to top everything off-

MY CRAB DIED! :^( /cry!!!!

i put him in the garbage can! /sob!

i think he was just old because I read they only live 1-2 years in captivity and I had him for 6 months...Who knows how old he really was...at least 6 months when I got him...prolly more like 9.

/cry

I dont think Ill get another one, I just dont want to support those poor crabs getting scooped off beaches somewhere. I think its pretty mean.

BUT, on the plus side I did apply for a pretty sweet looking job that is 1.5 miles away (Instead of 60) woohoo!

Now if I just get that job Ill be set. i do happen to know some people on the inside this time.

At any rate have a great day!

Hope everyone else is feeling well and has a great day. I AM NOT.

Gotta go...

My wife made this video of everybodys favorite internet personality, Birt Jr.(BJ)

Here he is pretty stuck in the mud. Personally this doesnt look like fun to me. But I guess the world doesnt move to the beat of just one drum.

Have a great day!

Me: In AZ its gonna be like 80 today.
John(14): Im jealous of them, we should move there.
Me: You wouldnt like it after the global warming hits.
John: Global warming is a government conspiracy to make you use less gas and curb littering.
Me: you dont believe in that stuff huh?
John: Nah.
Me: What about the disapearing glaciers and all that?
John: Its natural, they'll come back, really they got nowhere else to go.

Melissa(11) came into my room last night at about 10:30 crying. Her beta, Speedy(2 1/2) had died, She was taking it pretty hard, She wasnt really good about the water changes, something I had been lecturing her on recently, but yesterday she did a full water change on him. She left the water to sit out overnight to get to be the same temp, and remove the clorine. Im not sure if maybe she mangled him in the net. He did look alittle bloaty, so maybe she had neglected him too long and the water change stressed him to death. The straw that broke the camel's back. She said after the change he was looking/acting fine. Who knows.

Anyway, She wanted to bury him(I just throw my deadies in the garbage usually). So I went out in the dark at about 11 oclock and dug him a hole. We put him in an old jewelry box and said a few words.

One kid said he was in a better place. I pointed out that he was in a one foot hole, outside the back porch where that tree used to grow out from under the house.

It did make me sad too.

Stupid death. Ruining my life trip.

Well, seems I got the job. If I want it. Its 60 miles away and 2 dollars an hour less than I was asking. But maybe I should just take it. Sounds like after 3 months theres a nice raise so that would put me where I need to be. But do I wanna drive all that way for 3 months for something that might pay off?

Im not sure.

I am positive my wife will tell me what to do tho. She excels at that.

But that bread I made is just soooo yummy.

:^)
Cold sore alert!

Ugh stupid cold sore taking over the side of my mouth!

Yes, I take multivitamins. Yes, Ive been slathering meds on it since yesterday.

Yes it hurts! Seems like its almost gone away tho.

Today I have big tank (55gal) water change and some apps to fill out. Dishes, laundry, the normal housewife stuff. I might go through and kill some guppies with some less desirable genetic traits also.

Have a good one.

Sunday, November 11, 2007

Thank you vets!

Thanks for doing a job that nobody really wants to do.

Thanks for keeping democracy safe. Thanks for dying if need be for your country.

In short, Just thanks!

Also thanks to all the families that go without their dads, brothers, cousins because they are serving over seas. Its a big sacrifice you make for all of us too!

And have a great day.

YUM! Homemade bread!

Image and video hosting by TinyPic
I am making some homemade bread.


Its one hell of a recipe card to fill out.

5 to 6 c. flour
3 tbsp. sugar
2 tsp. salt
2 pkg. dry yeast
2 c. water
1/4 c. vegetable oil

In large bowl, combine 2 cups flour, sugar, salt and yeast. Blend well. In small saucepan, heat water and oil until very lukewarm (120 to 130 degrees). Add warm liquid to flour mixture. Blend until moistened, then beat with beater 3 minutes. Stir in 2 1/2 to 3 cups flour until dough pulls cleanly away from side of bowl.
Knead 10 minutes, adding a little flour at a time, if dough feels sticky. Grease lump of dough. Put in bowl to rise and cover with towel. Let rise until double, then punch down. Divide dough into 2 parts and shape into balls. Let rise on counter covered with inverted bowl for 15 minutes.

Shape into loaves and place in 2 greased pans. Let rise in warm place about 1 hour or until it has risen about 1 inch above pans. Bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes or until loaf sounds hollow. Remove from pans and brush top with butter. Makes 2 loaves.
I cant get that goddamned Chocolate Rain song out of my head this morning!

CHOCOLATE RAIN
Gets really really stuck in my brain.

CHOCOLATE RAIN!
Singlehandedly drives me insane.

UGH! Get out of my head!

Also I am making some of those really cheap fun dogs (whats so fun about them anyway?) for the kids for lunch. Then I really need to get a boot on the laundry. Its starting to pile up again.

Hey that rhymes with

CHOCOLATE RAIN!

I am going to to listen to Loituma Junk just to get it out of my head.

Declawing cats should be illegal.

Dont think so? Check out how declawing works

http://www.declawing.com/htmls/declawing.htm

Anyone who thinks this is OK after reading about it should be drug out into the street and shot.(**EDIT**or looky at these horrible pictures)

also if you would like to add my cat as your friend at myspace

Matsushita Kotobuki-ki

Back to doing fish waterchanges now.
Wow am I ever sore!

Oh! Ouch!

Today I have a fone interview with some IT outsourcing people. housework and water changes on my fishtank. Also I gotta find out how I get paid by the temp agency.

I gotta go run now....Melissa needs some encouragement to get ready for school.

Have a great day!

Hooray! My darling cat has returned!

I am so overjoyed I can not contain my excitement!

She even seems to be extra affectionate! She loves me!

My sister has a myspace page for her cat, Mr. Man. I always call her a giant nerd for it, but Im so happy that my cat has returned ,I think I may now do the same. Plus then Ill be able to send her a furrr-iend request.

I bet I am inviting ridicule.

In other news...My delicate technician hands were only slightly damaged during todays sign work. I only lost a little bit o' skin. And I learned how to operate a scissor lift...They kept telling me to take breaks and I told them that was boring, As I dont have anything to do there...Heh...By the end of the day they were telling me to take an application home with me.

I guess it would pay better than temp work. But it might be more dangerous. Because they arent always hanging signs. The place is a printing mill. I saw one of the now defunct PSG helpdesk there. She startled me by walking up and saying, "Hey, Robert" , like I had just seen her 10 minutes ago...That was nice.

:^)

Hope everyone has a great night!
Well, Im being forced into posting at 12:01 this morning because I have a some temp job to report to 2morrow morning.

Sigh. I dont like working temp jobs.

On the plus side apparently theres a scissor lift and a harness and the outside of a building to contend with.

I told them I was brave enough to do that, yeah. Whatever pays the bills. But its gonna be cold and windy and Im going to have to wear my long undies to make it 8 hours in 20 degree weather while dangling from a scissor lift 40 feet in the air.

I wonder what the next death defying job they will dig up for me is...

I must admit it sounds rather exciting.

Oh and raymi, if yourE paying attention I think this might be "our song" ROFL(I kill me!).



Its a psychobilly freakout!

Wednesday, November 07, 2007

My cat has been missing for about a week now.

It went out and never came back.

I had one of the kids out looking for its corpse on the surrounding block(Its normal prowling grounds), and they didnt find it so it must be in someones house.

I miss my cat.

Also, I heard about a bridal shop that may or may not need some computer work. So Im going to head into there today and see if I cant help them for alittle extra mullah.

Have a good one.

Check this except out from

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_troll

I think its funny.

"Concern troll
A concern troll is a pseudonym created by a user whose point of view is opposed to the one that the user's sockpuppet claims to hold. The concern troll posts in web forums devoted to its declared point of view and attempts to sway the group's actions or opinions while claiming to share their goals, but with professed "concerns". The goal is to sow fear, uncertainty and doubt within the group.[8]"

Cracks me up! Maybe I am the troll huh? LOL Oh wait...Im not "attacking" raymi at her blog. (thats important I guess).

Boy this internet drama crap is sure complicated.

And doesnt the word sockpuppet just crack you up? I know it does me.

I might be being sucked into the trolls game right now posting this. But I already posted today so this is just bonus

AND

I already saw this episode of survivorman. But man it is freezing in my bedroom I am shivering.
Why mean bloggers suck:

Simply put they make people afraid to post things because they dont want to be ridiculed.

Then less stuff gets posted, blogs get taken down, the online community is deminished.

Personally I have seen dozens of blog "go away" like that.

Bullies of the internet suck.

In other news I had a job interview today. It went ok...I knew some stuff. Didnt know some other stuff. We will see if I get hired.

Have a good day!

I fell in love with this song playing frets on fire.

The band seems pretty glammy tho.

Beast and the Harlot
Avenged Sevenfold

This shining city built of gold, a far cry from innocence,
There's more than meets the eye round here, look to the waters of the deep.
A city of evil.
There sat a seven-headed beast, ten horns raised from his head.
Symbolic woman sits on his throne, but hatred strips her and leaves her naked.
The Beast and the Harlot.

She's a dwelling place for demons.
She's a cage for every unclean spirit,
every filthy burden, makes us drink the poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings.
Fallen now is Babylon the Great.

The city dressed in jewels and gold, fine linen, myrrh with pearls.
Her plagues have come all at once as her mourners watch her burn.
Destroyed in an hour.
Merchants and captains of the world, sailors, navigators too.
Will weep and mourn this loss with her sins piled to the sky,
The Beast and the Harlot.

She's a dwelling place for demons.
She's a cage for every unclean spirit,
every filthy burden, makes us drink the poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings.
Fallen now is Babylon the Great.

The day has come for all us sinners.
If you're not a servant, you'll be struck to the ground.
Flee the burning, greedy city.
Lookin' back on her to see there's nothing around.

I don't believe in fairytales and no one wants to go to hell.
You've made the wrong decision and it's easy to see.
Now if you wanna serve above or be a king below with us,
You're welcome to the city where your future is set forever.

She's a dwelling place for demons.
She's a cage for every unclean spirit,
every filthy burden, makes us drink the poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings.
Fallen now is Babylon the Great.

She's a dwelling place for demons.
She's a cage for every unclean spirit,
every filthy burden, makes us drink the poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings.
Fallen now is Babylon the Great.
